The Wealdstone Raider
Gordon Parmar Hill (born 31 January 1966), better known as The Wealdstone Raider, is an English builder who gained prominence as an Internet meme. A long-time supporter of Wealdstone F.C., he gained attention due to a viral video of him heckling opposing supporters of Whitehawk F.C. at a football match in March 2013, which ultimately ended in a 1–1 draw, with phrases such as "If you want some, I'll give it ya" and "You've got no fans". However, the video did not peak in popularity until December 2014.
An online article by BBC News included The Wealdstone Raider in the 'top memes and viral videos' of December 2014. The nickname "Wealdstone Raider" came from the title of the original video uploaded by YouTube user dazman21. Coincidentally, Hill claimed his brother had the nickname of "Raider" ten years prior to the upload.
A builder by trade, Hill now has over 70,000 followers on X where he has gained a reputation for light-heartedly insulting celebrities comically using his catchphrases, including Arsenal F.C. supporter Piers Morgan. He is passionate about sport.
Hill as a figure has been used as the face of various T-shirts and banners at public events such as football matches, one of which was spotted at a match between PEC Zwolle and ADO Den Haag in The Netherlands.
Following England's victory over Ukraine in the quarter-final of Euro 2020 (July 2021), Hill was arrested on suspicion of being "drunk and disorderly" and taken to Caledonian Road Police Station. No charges were made.
For the majority of Hill's childhood and adolescence, he was treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital for toxoplasmosis. Hill has since showed his gratitude to the hospital by donating the royalties from his song "Got No Fans" to them, among other charities.
Hill apparently has already raised £500,000 for charity, including by charging fans £2 for a photo with him, and through the promotion of his charity single. Hill has an agent who takes bookings for him to appear at nightclubs and events.
The original 33-second YouTube video entitled The Wealdstone Raider was uploaded to the video-sharing website on 10 March 2013, having been filmed the previous day. It features Hill at The Enclosed Ground of Whitehawk F.C., Brighton. At the start of the video Hill is shown wearing a Wealdstone F.C. football shirt and an oversized leather jacket; holding a cigarette in his right hand and a pint of beer in the other, he was being discreetly filmed at a football match by opposing supporter Darren Ward. During the early moments of the video Hill appears to become aware he is being filmed and is seen taking a number of glances towards the camera before saying a number of phrases, which he has now become renowned for, including "If you want some, I'll give it ya" and "You've got no fans". During the altercation Hill claimed that Whitehawk F.C. were "playing shit" due to the fact that they had "no fans" and were a "load of wankers". Other videos on the original uploader's YouTube channel "dazman21" depict further disputes between Hill, Ward and "Jeff", as well as other bystanders of the match.
